"In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of
Judaea, and saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The
voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight."

Matthew 4:17

"That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the
way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; The people which
sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and
shadow of death light is sprung up."

"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent:
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Christ's Bride, Ministries - witnessing to the truth, by the Spirit of truth, to bring a lost
and dying world to life, now and eternally.

. Words
from The WORD, for a world of people during these final climactic times of
human history, people with a critical need for indispensable truth from the Source of
Truth, light from the Source of Light, love from the Source of Love, and life from the
Source of Life.

"And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and
make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an
appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

{I guess I am one of the fortunate few people who found this
decidedly low-tech website, and one of the fewer yet who having once found it, chooses to
return to it regularly. I feel right at home here because it is so much
like me, as you can see I am very up to date, keeping up with the
latest fashion trends, very attuned to the
times, very technologically adept and astute; I imagine that is why I
found this website, how about you?}

Violence is erupting around the world and within the glorious land, as
GOD foretold long ago, and there is far more to come; the only answers and solutions upon
this earth are truly to be sought and found from the LORD and GOD of creation.

Within the 'pages' of CHRIST's Bride, Ministries' websites the truth of
GOD, will be published, in sincerity and truth, subject to the manifold failings of CBM's
editor, vs. the fiction of man, woman, and of the enemy of our souls (Satan).

Lest some should question whom respect, honor, and tribute is paid to
within CBM's site(s), the respect, honor, and tribute 'paid' in these 'pages' is to
the GOD of creation, the GOD of truth, and the GOD of all living; honor is not
'paid' to sinful man, nor woman,
nor their institutions which tend to corrupt, pervert, and destroy GOD's good and perfect
gifts and blessings, and to perpetually war against all truth, as Satan the liar and
father of lies insatiably does, in diametric, violent opposition to Jesus CHRIST.

John 8:43-44 "Why do ye not understand my speech? even
because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he
is a liar, and the father of it.

John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal,
and to murder, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly."

John 18:37"To this end was I born, and for this
cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is
of the truth heareth my voice."

Indeed, whose voice will you hear, receive, obey, and heed;
the Lord's faithful, true, reliable Word, or the words and directions of
sinners, fools, liars and destroyers? The choice is yours, and the
consequences are both temporal and eternal.

. Update: One year anniversary for CBM's
website(s), September 1997/Av-Elul 5757. Just one month away lies Elul-Tishri 5757-5758,
and if the 'experts' have it right this time, commencement of the 3,000th anniversary of
Jerusalem, the Holy City.

. Update: October 1st, in the year of
our LORD 1997/Elul-Tishri 5757-5758: 5758 JUBILEE, Praise GOD, the Jubilee year, dating
from the 'creation' of the modern nation/state of Israel. Rosh HaShanah (Jewish New Year,
but not the real new year) is here, Sabbat Shuvah (Sabbath of/for Repentance), Yom Kippur
(the Great Atonement), Sukkot (The great Feast of Booths/Tabernacles [Zechariah 14]), with
Hoshanah Rabbah (The Great Salvation)...on to Hanukkah, and the traditional
celebration and honoring of MESSIAH's birth (i.e., the birth of Jesus the CHRIST),
Christmas(s), then on to Passover (during the true first month of the year, not
to be confused with January) and the anniversary
of the substitutionary death of the Lamb of GOD sacrificed from the
foundation of the world, the earth, on behalf of we fallen, sinful people (of His creation),
then to the
commemoration of His triumphant Resurrection from Hades and the dead (Resurrection
Sunday, aka "Easter"), and then 40 days later the Lord's ascension into Heaven in full view of over 500
witnesses, to take his rightful place at the right hand of GOD the
Father, there to wait until His enemies be made His footstool, at which time HE shall
victoriously return to judge the quick & the dead. In the meantime,
the Lord has sent the
Comforter/the Holy Ghost/the Holy Spirit/the Spirit of Truth (whom HE promised to send in
His place), to work to confirm the testimony of Jesus the CHRIST, and to draw multitudes
of lost and dying sinners to the LORD of Life, Jesus of Nazareth, to inherit GOD's
forgiveness and life eternal.

. Update:September
2000/Av-Elul 5760. Anti-Jew, anti-Christ Yassir Arafat's terrorist PLO
has scheduled itself to declare independent nationhood over much of Israel's
God-given Holy Land. It is reported that bloody Red China has amassed a
vast multitude of troops in Northeast Africa, on the verge of striking the
remaining Christians in Sudan, though why any great force would be required to
slaughter defenseless already ravaged and terrorized christian families who are
clustered across a virtual wasteland is beyond me (perhaps it is just another
instance of the terribly sophisticated military & "law
enforcement" strategy of using
"overwhelming force," which is nothing more than the instinctual way
that even the most ignorant and stupid of bullies operate, i.e., always preying
upon the smallest,
the weakest, the youngest, the oldest, the females, the women with child (i.e., pregnant
women), the most vulnerable, the
sweetest, the gentlest, the kindest, the tenderest, the most harmless, and to make sure
those selected to be attacked are terribly
outnumbered, unarmed, and helpless, and then to bind them before slaughtering
them....

The future is phenomenally troubling & trouble-filled.
This time round keep your eye on Israel, she is in the LORD's Hand!
All those who come against her (and those who betray her) shall fall, for her
sake, i.e., for Israel's sake.

It promises to be
a momentously trying, yet truly miraculous time for Israel, against all odds and
beset by all adversaries, indeed all the world (including 'friends' and
'allies'). Without
a Net!

Unless otherwise stated or expressly attributed, the predictive
communications contained within the chapters and pages of Christ's Bride
Ministries website(s) are rendered by CBM's editor, Brad Thomas, aka "Ed.," and the prophetic utterances are gleaned from
the Holy Bible, not from man, that is (i.e.), they are not the repeated communications of what
various men have had to say, nor are they the repeated communications of purported
prophets.

Disclaimer:

The statements made, stands taken, views expressed...herein (at
CHRIST's Bride, Ministries' web-sites), are those of CHRIST's Bride, Ministries and CBM's

and faithfully represent those of the one true GOD, as revealed in His WORD; however,
certain branches or sub-directories, noted by asterisks on the Directory Page (Table of
Contents), are deemed to include material which is per the editor's personal
fallible judgment.
Whatever is right about these sites is thanks to GOD; whatever is wrong about these sites
is the fault of CBM's editor. Additionally, these sites are not directed to children (as
the Holy Bible is not), but while the content/the material presented herein concerns the very
most serious of subjects, it is certainly important for children to be apprised of these
matters, as it is imperative that children become acquainted with the Holy Bible (vade
mecum), to become acquainted with the truth of GOD the Father, GOD the Son, and GOD the Holy Spirit, and it is
critically important that children be led to the Lord of Glory by their parents; nonetheless, these
websites are directed especially to elder adults, adults, young adults, and youths.

.Additional Disclaimer:

It should be added, that governments,
agencies, organizations, companies, which prominently insist and demand out of one side of
their 'mouths' that sites, environments, materials...be 'Child-Safe' (seemingly
meaning free from anything which would be corruptive, subversive, and perverting, thus
destructive to children and minors), they in fact incessantly promote ideologies,
philosophies, instructions, behaviors, practices, materials, images..., which are ruinously
seductive, corruptive, corrosive, and perverting to children, to the end that those
children they are allegedly protecting, might in fact be overthrown by their 'protective
care.' Meanwhile, the aforementioned organizations out of the other side of their 'mouths'
condemn anything which they deem to be 'homophobic' 'hateful'.... You get
the idea don't you; if you are teaching children the truth, teaching children to choose
the good and to refuse the evil, to love the good and to hate the evil, you are not 'Child-Safe.'
These
are the times in which we live, the very last times of human history prior to the Millennial reign of CHRIST
JESUS (tempus fugit); the times in which sin has come to the
full, the times in which iniquity is abounding and the love of many shall wax
cold, the times in which the good is called evil, and the
evil is called good! The times in which being a true friend of God is to be seen as being
an enemy of mankind, and of mankind's government, and to be treated accordingly! These are
indeed the times which will try men's souls (and spirits, and minds, and bodies,
and lives), and fearfully most men and women will be found wanting. [Daniel 5:27]
